DESCRIPTION
The site extends to approximately 0.73 acre (0.295 ha) and is currently used as a paddock. Access is off the public highway at the western end of the site. The site also has frontage on to the A44 at the eastern end of the site.
The site is green field and is generally level.
PLANNING
The site lies within the jurisdiction of Powys County Council. Full planning permission was granted by the previous Montgomeryshire District Council in 1994 for the “erection of 10 dwellinghouses and formation of vehicular access” under application reference M23449.
This planning permission was accompanied by a Section 106 Agreement dated 16th May 1994 and requires that two of the houses have a local occupancy restriction.
The planning permission was subsequently renewed on 17th December 1998 under application reference M98842 with the following description:
“Erection of 10 dwellinghouses and formation of vehicular access (renewal of permission M23449) at Land adjoining Penybont Farm, Maes Curig, Llangurig”
Copies of the planning permission and Section 106 are available from the selling agents.
Our client commenced construction of foundations to plots 3 and 4 in September 2003, works which were registered under Powys County Council Building Control reference PM/JPF/2003/0360.
The first section of the access road (capable of being upgraded to adoptable standards) was constructed in 2004 at a total cost of £25,532 under Powys County Council Consent Reference V0678 dated 13th December 2004. The above works mean that the 1998 planning permission is extant i.e. “live”.
Plots 1 and 2 at the western end of the site were subsequently sold and an attractive “Border Oak” style house was constructed thereon. The remainder of the site which we are instructed to sell can accommodate eight of the original 10 consented houses.
HIGHWAYS DEPOSIT
Our client was required to lodge a deposit with the Council in 2004 under the Advanced Payments Code (APC), the benefit of which will transfer to the purchaser of the property. The APC required a deposit to be paid to the Council which will be released to the Purchaser upon adoption of the proposed highways access.
Including interest, the deposit is now £18,799.85 (as at 31/3/16) and so this amount must be reflected in your offer price.
TENURE
The freehold interest is for sale with vacant possession upon completion.
GUIDE PRICE
We are seeking £170,000 including the benefit of the highways deposit (see above). VAT will not be charged.
LEGAL COSTS
Each party will bear their own legal costs in the transaction.
